A child just today

I named by new bike Blue Hoo, like Woo Hoo!
In spite of prudent self I took her for a ride in the dark woods.

Through the trees she's a smooth ride into the deep twilight
into the mystery

Blue Hoo.

This is the midlife feel, risky, lungs filled
and in the dark woods and shadows I find
myself.

Exhilaration, no sounds but breath and bike
moon on the right, then on the left
peaking and dancing on the edge of sight.

Artemis pedals on in the night.
